Yes, but we might as well get it straight so that the next time around....

I thought you were asking for the vote--or was that for adjournment?

10:45 a.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Dave MacKenzie

No, we asked for a vote, Mr. Harris.

Jack Harris NDP St. John's East, NL

So you would rather have it just passed and not discussed.

My point of order was that there was a vote asked for and taken. If there was discussion to be held, it should be held before the vote and not after.

The Chair Conservative Dave MacKenzie

Okay. I accept that as a point of order. I will make it clear with Mr. Harris afterwards. I think it will work out.

At any rate, I will present it on Thursday.

Just so that everybody doesn't get lost on Thursday, we do have teleconferences, which can create some difficulty; as you know, in the last teleconference we lost somebody and we gained somebody, and so on.

The meeting on Thursday will not be in this room. The clerk will let you know where it will be. It might be on Queen Street. The equipment is a little older here. Just look at the notice of meeting.

The meeting is adjourned.
